Default Re: Which head units require no wiring harness?



Notice in the upper left there is a connector with a bunch of wires? That's what you would connect a Schosche VW-01B harness connector to. Then you have a harness that plugs into the head unit at one end and plugs directly into your car harness for existing power, amp and speakers.

Then you have all the other RCA connectors for more speakers, amps and subs.

You will need a Euro antenna adapter to go to the type connector shown here.

The toughest part of installing this head unit looks to be finding a way to stuff all those cables into the small space behind the unit... You will probably have to remove the panel below the head unit and fish those wires down behind the head unit after you feed it into the DIN1 opening. Not really a big deal - just a little tedious.

The install manual is Here - Click this drawing:


Pretty much all of the wires in the section labeled "1" are going to be connected to the harness adapter. The wiring chart sums it up.

The speakers in the section labeled "9" (left and right front) are the existing factory speakers. You can run new speakers off the Left and Right rear leads (don't connect those from the head unit to the harness adapter because they don't lead anywhere in the car harness - just run them directly to new speakers).

Reverse Gear signal only needed for backup camera (white "B")

Line Out Front, Rear, and Subwoofer go to amps for more speakers/subs (above and beyond what's in your car when stock from factory) (black "B")

"C" Connectors are auxiliary lines in and out for stuff to add. You will probably want to run lines from the AUX In if you don't install another source component so that you could plug stuff in without popping the head unit. There's the video channels too...
